dusty grey hummingbirds and "Kick 'em Jenny"


Ooh, lovely, ice-cold white wine! Brian from Seraphine" is by with a thanks-for-some-medicine present. Anybody else need some antibiotics or anything? An aspirin?

We let it warm up in our "fridge" and dinghy over to True-Blue Road, then Maxi-Taxi to town. Town is the capital, St. George's. We have a couple errands and manage to buy a charger that doesn't fit the plug of the cell-phone it's supposed to charge.

The Grenada Museum here is the typical dusty collection of graying feathers and bowl fragments. The irridence long gone from the hummingbirds. And lots of placards describing volcanos. Especially the underwater one near here, "Kick 'em Jenny". They can send gas bubbles up and "aerate" the water, make it less dense. And huge ships become relatively heavier. Ploop,ploop. Down they sink.
Scary.
